From Bon Appétit, August 2009 (by Maria Helm Sinskey). Halloumi is a pleasantly salty Greek cheese that grills well. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil |
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 lb halloumi cheese |
16 mini pita pockets (white or whole wheat) |
2 ripe medium tomatoes, cored, halved, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices |
sea salt |
Directions:
1. Whisk 1 teaspoon oil, mint, cumin, and pinch of freshly ground black pepper in medium bowl to blend.
2. Add cheese slices; toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill.
3. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat).
4. Grill pitas until warm and grill marks appear, about 1 minute per side.Transfer to serving plate.
5. Grill cheese until grill marks appear and cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute per side. Stack each warm pita with slice of tomato and cheese. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle tomatoes lightly with sea salt.
6. NOTE: * Halloumi cheese is available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores, natural foods stores, and Greek markets.
